Truth is an understanding that raises one’s level of consciousness (quotes)

Truth raises our level of consciousness…

  • We have only one consciousness stream. When we associate with Truth, we ascend upwards, and when we associate with untruth we fall down. Tulsi
  • As my consciousness expands, my whole being changes and I vibrate at a higher frequency. Inner truths are perceived. Veils are lifted. I see with new eyes. John Kehoe
  • Truth is that which raises your level of consciousness. Truth is therefore relative. At a low level of consciousness, a particular truth will raise you up while that same truth may drag you down if you are at a high level of consciousness. Particular truths resonate at particular levels of consciousness. Anthony Lambert

…while raised consciousness reveals higher truths

  • Consciousness level 200 is critical because it demarcates truth from falsehood. David R. Hawkins
  • Everyone has his own truths and every such truth corresponds to a particular intelligence or consciousness level. If some religious absurdities are your truths, then you must increase your level to approach to the real truth! At the position of low level intelligence and consciousness, it is impossible to see the real truth! Mehmet Murat Ildan
  • If we are in a high enough state of consciousness we see that life is only a passing dream. Frederick Lenz
  • Ramana Maharshi said that “there is no point in trying to save the world because the world one sees does not even exist.” That is the truth and experiential reality of consciousness calibration level 720, but it is not the experiential reality of consciousness levels below it. It is necessary to be true to the reality that is experientially valid and true at one’s level of development. David R. Hawkins
  • Spiritual truth is that which raises your level of consciousness. Anthony Lambert
  • The apparent realities of a specific level of consciousness are not necessarily those of another level. David R. Hawkins
  • The truth of each level of consciousness is self–verifying in that each level has its native range of perception, which confirms what’s already believed to be true. David R. Hawkins
  • A statement may be true at a high level of understanding, but be incomprehensible to the average mind. Its value may therefore be corrupted when the statement is distorted by the limitations of the listener. David R. Hawkins
  • There’s nothing the mind believes that isn’t erroneous at a higher level of awareness. David R. Hawkins
  • What appears as an important and exciting piece of information from the perspective of one level might be boring or even repulsive at another level. Truth is subjective, and that can be frightening. David R. Hawkins
  • And through the opening or clearing in your own awareness may come flashing higher truths, subtler revelations, profound connections. For a moment you might even touch eternity. Ken Wilber
  • Every truth ever discovered, each new spiritual light that will ever burn bright has already been seeded in our consciousness. Guy Finley

Because it expands consciousness, truth brings peace …

  • When the realization is deep, your whole being is dancing. Zen saying
  • Truth brings peace, whereas falsehood brings fear. David R. Hawkins
  • That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility. Rumi
  • Spiritual truth, then, is universally true and without variation through time or place. It always brings peace, harmony, accord, love, compassion, and mercy. Truth can be identified by these qualities. All else is the invention of the ego. David R. Hawkins
  • Truth is like the stars; it does not appear except from behind obscurity of the night. Truth is like all beautiful things in the world; it does not disclose its desirability except to those who first feel the influence of falsehood. Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness. Khalil Gibran
  • Truth is the only safe ground to stand on. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
  • Happy are those who have overcome their egos; happy are those who have attained peace; happy are those who have found the Truth. Gautama Buddha

Because it expands consciousness, truth brings strength, not weakness

  • Force is based on falsehood; power is based solely on truth. David R. Hawkins
  • Truth is enlightening and invigorating. It is truth alone that gives strength. Truth alone gives life, and nothing but going towards reality will make us strong, and none will reach truth until they are strong. Strength, therefore, is the one thing that we want. Strengthening is the medicine which the poor must have when tyrannised over by the rich. Strength is the medicine that the ignorant must have when oppressed by the learned; and it is the medicine that sinners must have when tyrannised over by other sinners. Swami Vivekananda
  • Truth is that which affirms life. Falsehood is that which weakens or destroys life. Anthony Lambert

  • Truth indeed rather alleviates than hurts, and will always bear up against falsehood, as oil does above water. Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
  • If one can actually revert to the truth, then a great deal of one’s suffering can be erased– because a great deal of one’s suffering is based on sheer lies. D.Laing
  • It’s good that it hurts. Pain is the signal that you’re confused, that you’re in a lie. Byron Katie
